Thirty-five percent of 'one-family, couple with children only' households had an annual before-tax household income of $87,600 and over.

Digging through the supplementary tables gives a rough median of around $75,000 for that group (the overall median being around $42,000 with only 30% of households earning over $70,000 - which shows just how skewed an average figure can be).

Of course, if National is not as generous as Frogblog supposes, even more families will be better off. but we'll have to wait until Monday to find out.

Being a childless person in a gay defacto household all there will be in it for me, by voting Labour, is to pay for all that growing generosity towards lifestyle breeders. But if I chose National all I will be left with is a mortgage rate that will gobble up many times over any across the board tax cuts they will offer. It must he be real meaning of "mainstream" when you are being courted/bribed by both main parties.
